Is it bad to set the WiFi settings for Raspberry Pi 3 in BLE?

Asked 2 years ago, Updated 2 years ago, 62 views

Thank you for your help.

Raspberry Pi 3 is convenient with WiFi and BLE built into the board.However, unlike wired LANs, wireless LANs require SSID specification and password entry.Specifically, you must edit the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file.Typically, you can connect the keyboard to the display to configure your wireless LAN, and then use ssh to operate without a display or keyboard.

However, it was inconvenient, so I came up with the following idea.Wouldn't it be convenient to search for BLE devices on your smartphone or PC and then set up an SSID or password via BLE?Then you can connect to the Internet without a keyboard or display.

I think this is a common idea, but I couldn't find such a case when I searched various ways in Japanese and English.I'm not used to dealing with BLE at all, so I'm worried that I can't do this or shouldn't do it, but I'd appreciate it if you could give me your opinion.If you are able to do so without any technical problems, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with helpful information (URL, books, etc.).

The SSID configuration here is not a new Raspberry Pi configuration, but rather a Raspberry Pi developed at home, which is expected to be brought to a friend's house somewhere.In other words, when Raspberry Pi is powered on, a pre-created program (which appears to have a lot of node.js) rewrites wpa_supplicant.conf or starts with the required permissions (root?) to restart the service and waits for a connection from your smartphone.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I haven't tried it yet, but I found something called Wi-Fi SmartConfig.

This is looking at how other IoT hard drives solve similar problems, and is described in Sansaire Delta product description

I found the description

Purpose is

If possible, I'm aiming for something that can be used by older people who don't know about computers (but WiFi is set up by their grandchildren or someone else) just by bringing it in.

If so, how about WPS-enabled raspies?

However, there are the following considerations:
·What should I do with the WPS start trigger on the raspy side (for example, if I can't find a known SSID after turning on the power, I will automatically start the WPS)
·WiFi access points compatible with WPS are required
·In order to make it easier to see if the WPS configuration was successful, there is room for additional consideration such as LED on the raspy side
